Song lyrics

All songs written by Ross Mintzer

• Dream big, when you’re up against it all, when you’re standing on a narrow bridge and you’re about to fall.
  Dream big, when you're blocked by a wall, keep on saying in your head, nothing is impossible.
  Dream big, and when your moment arrives, look up to the stars and thank God you're alive.
  Dream big, the power is inside of you. You'll be love for whoever you are and for whatever you do.
  • Lyrics from the song, “Victory” (April 13, 2013) from MTV Italy Official Lyrics

• You can't gain one thing without loosing something else.
  You can try to catch time, but try to catch a moment, it's better.
  Days pass, and months go by
  And the years come, and a decades gone
  It always feels like times are ending
  But they go on, and on, and on, and on.
  • Lyrics to “Lost In America" (July 17, 2013)

Quotes about Mintzer

• The sound of Mintzer’s guitar in the track “On the Road”, is haunting. However in context, the sound develops sentimental and inspiring feelings. The vocal melodies and harmonies are similar to Mintzer’s playing in their original shape/color and light floating tone. Thoughtful and poetic lyrics accent the effect, serving as a conduit for the entirety of the aforementioned musicianship.
  • Jared Brickman on Mintzer's playing from the Remington song "On The Road". (13 April 2008)[1]
